alcohol use

Alcohol is a psychoactive substance found in beverages like beer, wine, and spirits that affects the brain, leading to relaxed feelings, lowered inhibitions, and impaired judgment. Moderate use can be social and enjoyable, but excessive consumption risks health problems such as liver disease, addiction, mental health issues, and accidents. It can also impact relationships and work life. Responsible drinking involves being aware of limits and understanding how alcohol influences your body and behavior. If alcohol use becomes problematic or causes harm, seeking support or professional help is important.
